Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Return of Ocean Fiend King

“The balance is still kept. Having said that, a few more uses will throw off the balance,” Mu Yu answered.

Landing beside Mu Yu, Qiao Xue inquired, “Mu Yu, are you all right?”

“Yeah, how about you? If my memory does me justice, my bloodlust impacted you before. I hahe some vague memories thanks to Wood Spirit and Water Spirit merging, but that’s it.”

“Yeah. I… don’t like it.”

“We can’t let Water Spirit and Wood Spirit connect thoughtlessly. I need to be conscious of my thoughts while using the power. You can’t retain self-awareness when you use it. You may have to use the power in the future, which would mean…”

“I will also have to attain the power, correct?”

Since Mu Yu didn’t answer, Xiaoshuai casually commented, “You don’t have to act like it’s the end of the world. You can cross that bridge when you come to it.”

“Yeah, we need to go assist Elder Lu.”

“How are we going to help him?” Qiao Xue questioned.

Mu Yu checked on the status quo, noticing that Lu Xiong no longer needed Contiguous Horizon Formation protecting him for Gui Yuzi was on his own now. “Now that I’ve taken a closer look, our intervention is unnecessary. I think Ocean Fiend King is going to break free any moment now. Hear Gui Yuzi screaming? Usually, I’d complain about his voice annoying me, but it’s music to my ears right n-”

Boom! The black qi around Gui Yuzi dispersed, unable to resist against the technique White Ape Fiend King imparted onto Lu Xiong. Gui Yuzi’s skin started so split and leave as ghost mist, revealing Ocean Fiend King’s skeleton.

“Coveting my body, you lot from Ghost Gate really are the bad egg,” verbalised Ocean Fiend King, melting the stress off everyone’s shoulders.

Ocean Fiend King threw Gui Yuzi, who still kept struggling for rights to the skeleton, out. Despite his plan already in tatters, Gui Yuzi fearlessly aggressed, “Curse you, Ocean Fiend King.”

“You still refuse to give up?”

“Give up? You think you’ve won?”

Gui Yuzi picked up the fragmented Blood Domain Demon Skull that still had energy lingering inside to merge it with himself.

“Not this again…” lamented Mu Yu.

The Ascension Realm monster positioned himself high in the sky and summoned a red, Spirit Severing Realm Ghost Gate member out on the ocean, whom was part of the reinforcements team Gui Yeming arranged to stay on standby outside the island’s perimeter.

“Are you Elder Gui Yuzi?” the Spirit Severing Realm cultivator inquired, not surprised Gui Yuzi held him as a captive, yet surprised there were none of his allies left on the island.

Gui Yuzi laughed through his nose. “You’re going to have to offer your life.”

“What exactly do y-, argh!”

Gui Yuzi ejected red mist from his body, transferring himself into the disciple, consequently changing the disciple’s appearance to coincide with his own. Gui Yuzi’s Ascension Realm power shook the clouds and incited ghouls.

Ocean Fiend King approached Lu Xiong, who was drastically weakened. Lu Xiong conveyed, “Your Majesty, you can take the blood on me now.”

Ocean Fiend King gave Lu Xiong a pat on the shoulder and, in a solemn voice, expressed, “I’m sorry.”

“Your subject is honoured!”

Mu Yu silently watched blood spill from Lu Xiong’s wrist and onto Ocean Fiend King’s blood while Qiao Xue’s Water Spirit travelled along the stream of blood into Ocean Fiend King’s body. Water Spirit coated the newly formed veins on Ocean Fiend King, restoring his power to him. Soon enough, his qi surpassed Gui Yuzi’s.

Lu Xiong had the corners of his lips lifted despite him gradually withering. Suddenly, a green beam cut off the connection between himself and Ocean Fiend King. Mu Yu, brandishing Shadow Splitter Sword, confronted Lu Xiong, asserting, “Never go all the way. That should be enough blood.”

“Mu Yu, I am voluntarily offering my blood. Pl-”

“Enough blood has been spilt today,” Mu Yu interrupted, turning his head to Ocean Fiend King, who was forming skin out of ocean water.

“It’s all right, Mu Yu. His Majesty needs adequate blood to rec-”

“Did you ask for my approval yet?” rhetorically asked the dragon vine, slapping Lu Xiong across the face with its tail.

“Lord True Dr-”

“It’s sufficient,” interjected the fiend king, finishing up his refined middle-aged man appearance, attired in a blue robe made from ocean water. He looked straight into Mu Yu’s eyes, complimenting, “Humanity is lucky to have you.”

“I hope I haven’t rescued a sinful fiend king,” responded Mu Yu, sheathing Shadow Splitter Sword and returning to his meditation.

Ocean Fiend King smiled in amusement. “As a scholar, I teach my citizens to always educate themselves on the ocean in order to prove their quality of life.”

Mu Yu turned a blind eye to the fiend king in spite of liking what he heard.

“That being said… I won’t be soft on any invaders,” sternly added Ocean Fiend King, summoning his white Thousand Inch Ocean Ruler to his hand.

Ocean Fiend King powered up then, in one jump, propelled himself up to confront Gui Yuzi.
